Lin Jue strictly followed the method of refining pills.

Every day a spell, every hour a spell, the gold melted into water, refining the golden essence and spirit rhyme, and in this process, the original thousand taels of gold were slowly worn away by spells and magic.

The wind and clouds of the world also changed outside the window, and the general trend often sounded at the door:

"Report to Master Lin, this year's autumn equinox, the King of Yue personally led an army of 300,000 to march north. The storytellers in the capital all say that the King of Yue in the south has finally thoroughly walked to the center of the world stage." Wan Xinrong said to him at the door, "There are also rumors among the people that the Xuan Tian Temple of Qiyun Mountain in Huizhou also stands with the King of Yue. I don't know if it will cause trouble for the Daoists of the Zhenjian Palace."

"I know."

"By the way, during this time, there have been dignitaries in the city coming to the door to deliver visiting cards and gifts, gathering at the door, and they never leave."

"Drive them away."

"Yes!"

The pill fire in the quiet room was flourishing, and the golden light was shining brightly.

Lin Jue took out a bottle and did not rush to throw it in.

You have to look at the time, you have to look at the spirit rhyme, and you can't make any mistakes.

This time it was at the third quarter of the Wei hour.

The daylight entered the room, casting the shadow of the diamond-grid window.

Time is up!

"Pop~"

The bottle stopper was opened, and the jade bottle tilted.

A ray of rosy light poured down along the bottle mouth, orange-red with firelight, scorching and magnificent, which was the beautiful morning glow after the storm and thunder and rain that day, when heaven and earth were washed clean.

"Poof!"

The pill furnace exploded with a sound, and some smoke and clouds rose.

Even the fox burning the fire couldn't help but raise its head, looking suspiciously into the furnace tripod.

But I saw that in the furnace, it was like the sky that day, and the morning glow was flourishing.

There was an inexplicable aura spreading, which was actually spirit rhyme, revealing infinite vitality, as if it were the beginning of a world; in a trance, it seemed to pull the person and the fox back to that morning.

I only felt that I was not in the quiet room, not by the pill furnace, not in this day and age, but went to the forehead mountain that morning.

Even drifting away with it, heading east.

Straight into the depths of the morning glow in the sky.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, but the morning glow in the capital on this day was also beautiful.

So it was another nearly a hundred days.

The outside world also entered winter from summer.

"Report to Master Lin, news came from outside, the north is in chaos! It is that Shu Xianwen, it is said that he treated other princes too harshly and cruelly, several princes united to oppose him, and General Luo Seng, the son-in-law of Shu Xianwen, is rushing to suppress it with troops. Wherever the army goes, it is unstoppable. Many generals and troops under those princes have surrendered to General Luo. Now General Luo is in the limelight in the north, and his momentum is unparalleled.

"However, the imperial court has picked up some longevity because of this, and there has been no major chaos in the capital, and no one has come to disturb you in refining pills.

"At the beginning, I heard that you returned to the capital, and those who often came to the door to deliver visiting cards and gifts, I don't know if we drove them away several times, or if you never went out, they haven't come these days."

There was another explosion in the room.

"Poof!"

That was the brilliant and magnificent evening glow of the Western Regions, magnificent and with a sense of stillness, as if it still carried some wind and sand, thrown into the furnace.

The vitality in the furnace was flourishing, and there seemed to be unpredictable changes. When it met this evening glow light, it was like neutralizing heat and cold, and it immediately quieted down.

They neutralized each other, but did not disappear.

That East Sea morning glow aura has infinite vitality and infinite changes. Originally in the furnace tripod, it was not enough and limited. The Western Regions evening glow light not only made it gentle, but also seemed to give it infinite space, so that it could slowly release its vitality and changes.

Great Jiang held on for another year.

"There are many rumors about Lord Luo in the north, all saying that he wants to replace Shu Xianwen, and he is the true dragon, so Lord Luo has been suspected by Shu Xianwen.

"Shu Xianwen summoned Lord Luo to see him twice. The first time, Lord Luo took the initiative to give up the cities and troops he had received from conquering other princes. However, after the news spread, many people soon said that Lord Luo had great righteousness, and more people went to rely on him. The second time, Shu Xianwen set up a Hongmen Banquet. Fortunately, Lord Luo had high martial arts skills, and his personal guards fought to the death, killing their way out of the encirclement.

"Twice like this, not only did it not weaken Lord Luo, but it made him occupy enough righteousness, and the world regarded him as a hero. At this time, although he superficially obeyed Shu Xianwen, he no longer accepted his orders."

Three jin of Nanshan stone, thrown into the furnace.

At this time, the pill furnace was full of scorching flames and boundless spirit rhyme. The Nanshan stone had just been thrown into it when it instantly turned into powder, and the spirit rhyme permeated out.

"Boom..."

The pill furnace suddenly began to tremble, as if it were about to fly away from the ground or explode and crack.

"Master Lin! North and South attacked together, the imperial court could not support it, and after the spring of this year, it retreated steadily. Now the imperial court only has the three states of Zhongzhou, Qinzhou, and Yuzhou left. The nearest army in the north is only a few hundred miles away from the capital, and the King of Yue's army is also approaching the capital by a thousand miles. The two sides even confronted each other in Wuzhou, suffering heavy losses!

"The world is completely in chaos, and people are rising up everywhere. You sing and I appear on the stage, and everyone wants to be the future emperor.

"Now the emperor is critically ill and the government has been handed over to the crown prince. Some time ago, the crown prince also summoned the Daoists of the Zhenjian Palace to ask questions. It is said that Master Qingxuan voluntarily went to prison as a hostage to explain that the Zhenjian Palace had never participated in the rebellion of the King of Yue. The Zhenjian Palace is very popular in the capital, and at this time, the crown prince dare not do anything to him.

"Some people also say that the imperial court wants to seal the King of Yue, give him a name, and lead him to bypass Qinzhou and go north to fight with the north."

With a hiss!

Two liters of North Leopard Spring, poured into the pill furnace.

The pill furnace that had been trembling for nearly a hundred days finally settled down.

At this time, in the furnace tripod, there was already a group of amazing spirit rhyme. Even if the pill was produced at this time, I am afraid it would be a rare immortal pill in the world. Infinite vitality and changes, vast and boundless stillness, as if one beginning and one end, and strengthening the body and nourishing the soul; if ordinary beasts and birds ate it, I am afraid they could immediately attain the Dao.

In the process of refining pills, it was as if the road walked at that time and the spirit rhyme absorbed were re-experienced and realized again.

There were gains and realizations.

The "fog" that shrouded the road to becoming a true immortal in his heart felt like "parting the clouds and seeing the light" several times, but it was always a little bit short.

"Master Lin, the emperor does not want to be the monarch of a fallen country, so he abdicated to the crown prince, and the crown prince ascended the throne today. However, both the south and the north cannot support it, and both sides seem to want to attack the capital before the other.

"Yesterday afternoon, for some reason, rosy light suddenly appeared in the capital. It was neither morning nor evening, neither in the east nor in the west, but directly above the capital. The people of the capital all said it was an auspicious sign of the crown prince's accession, but some people said that someone was cultivating immortality or refining pills in the capital."

There was a sudden boom in the furnace tripod!

A thousand-year-old fire ginseng was thrown into the furnace.

A burst of dry heat rushed toward his face, and the flames rushed out directly from the furnace tripod, even more scorching than the spirit fire of Fuyao and the junior sister, almost rushing onto Lin Jue's body and the wall.

Fortunately, Lin Jue wore fire-resistant clothes, and the painting on the wall was also taken down in advance.

The fierce flames did not go out, and the firelight did not stop all night, which saved the junior sister and the fox some effort; during this time, they did not need to cast spells to set fire.

"Master, the crown prince ascended the throne, first cleared the government, and many officials from Longzhou in the north and Huizhou in the south were involved. An official surnamed Wang came to ask for an audience, took a very old letter, and said that he was a fellow villager of Master Lin, and the elders in his family once had a relationship with Master Lin, wanting to ask Master Lin to save his life. Uncle Zhou let him in, as if he had received your instructions, Master?"

!

"It is indeed true. That is a relationship I formed many years ago, and a promise I made many years ago, so please let him in, let him live in the side hall, and no one can send him out."

"Yes..."

The rest of the junior sister and the fox was not long.

Probably less than a month, Lin Jue put in the top-grade golden essence.

Use gold to hold fire, and use fire to refine gold.

The temperature in the room finally dropped.

That kind of scorching spirit rhyme, even for Lin Jue, was very tormenting, let alone day and night here.

"Master, Shu Xianwen is dead.

"It is said to be wind from taking off armor.

"But Lord Nan said again that Shu Xianwen was the Martial God of the north descending to the mortal world. It is very likely that the gods of the north saw that another hero had appeared in the north, and the dragon aura was more sufficient, even if the Martial God descended to the mortal world, he was destined to be defeated by him, so he took Shu Xianwen away in advance and let the Martial God return.

"Shu Xianwen's son took over his military power, but his subordinates did not recognize it, beheaded his son, and surrendered to Lord Luo."

A swallow egg incense fell into the furnace tripod.

The furnace suddenly emitted countless blue smoke, with infinite fragrance, which made people feel happy when they smelled it.

It is inevitable that some fragrance spirit rhyme will overflow.

The nearby people smelled it and regarded it as a strange fragrance.

Some people had a cold, some people had minor illnesses, and the magical thing is that after smelling this fragrance, they actually got better.

The news spread, and many people came for the name.

It's a pity that this fragrance didn't last long.

"Master Lin, there is a rumor in the capital that you are refining immortal pills in the capital, and you can cure diseases if you smell it, and you can become an immortal if you eat it. Recently, the number of people wandering outside the courtyard has obviously increased, and there are playful children who, after hearing the rumors, climbed the wall to look inside, and we had to scold them."

A grain of Earth Spirit Pill, containing all spirit rhymes.

Suddenly all the strange phenomena seemed to disappear, and there was nothing in the furnace tripod except fire.

"Hoo..."

Lin Jue let out a long breath.

The wind and clouds of the world, like the smoke and spirit rhyme in the furnace, are constantly changing.

"Lord Luo wiped out Liang Leheng...

"The King of Yue captured Shi Qiong and took Yuzhou...

"Lord Luo entered the Grass Sea Pass...

"General Duan under the King of Yue was defeated at the mountain top pass...

"General An under Lord Luo slaughtered the city and was beheaded by him. It seems that several princes in the north are dissatisfied with this..."

Lin Jue never left the quiet room for a step.

With a wave of his sleeve, the thousand-year-old snow lotus also entered the furnace. It happened to be midsummer, and the streets and alleys around here were actually as cold as winter, which made the people marvel, and there were people who made various interpretations of it.

After the four directions, the Five Elements spirit rhyme was also felt by him.

Similar to the four directions spirit rhyme, four of the Five Elements spirit rhymes were also collected by him personally. After collecting them, he often kept them by his side to realize them. Now they are thrown into the pill furnace, and the spirit rhyme is thoroughly stimulated. It happens that refining pills takes a long time, so it is naturally another careful realization and cultivation.

There are gains and realizations.

"Master Lin, the world is almost divided into three now. The imperial court only has Qinzhou and Zhongzhou left, lingering on its last breath, and the rest are Lord Luo in the north and the King of Yue in the south. There are still a few small forces, with very small troops and territories, which seem to be unable to become a climate. In the end, they will either be annexed or surrender to one family to change for wealth.

"By the way! Recently there is a rumor in the north that Lord Luo once served as a protector by your side, Master Lin. There are many rumors about this in the capital and the imperial court, and even, even some people say that you, Master Lin, are closed behind doors in the capital, and there are various strange phenomena in heaven and earth, not refining pills, but taking the luck of Great Jiang and transferring it to Lord Luo in the north.

"The Ministry of Rites also came to inquire a few days ago."

Lin Jue listened, but was unmoved, with only his own cultivation and doubts in his heart.
